2Tablespoonspowdered sugar(optional but makes it sweeter)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Add oats, salt, baking powder and cacao powder in a bowl and mix with fork so everything is incorporated.
Then add milk, vanilla extract and cherries and mix again.
Put oat mixture into 2 baking dishes or ramekins (or 1 if you're making a larger portion) and bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile make the coconut whipped cream by opening the cooled coconut milk can and scooping out the hardened white part (leave the liquid-y part*).
In a large bowl, whip the hardened coconut cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar on high until peaks form. Coconut whipped cream will last about 3-4 days in the fridge but you'll have to stir or re-whip it to get the same consistency.
Top baked oatmeal with 1 TB of maple syrup, some coconut cream and a cherry!
Notes
*I keep the liquid part of the coconut milk and use it for smoothies!
